TrueNAS offers groups as an efficient way to manage permissions for many similar user accounts. See Users for managing users. The interface lets you manage UNIX-style groups. If the network uses a directory service, import the existing account information using the instructions in Active Directory.

To see saved groups, go to Credentials > Groups.

Never modify the settings for the standard pre-defined privileges (listed below)! Changing these pre-defined roles can result in lost access to the UI!

Pre-defined TrueNAS privileges ares:

• Read-Only Administrator - Allows the user to view settings but not make changes in the UI.
• Sharing Administrator - Allows the user to create new shares and the share dataset.
• Local Administrator - Gives full control (read/write/execute permissions) to the user.

Active Directory can provision groups in TrueNAS or you can add new groups that you assign to users in AD. After adding a group, verify or edit the privilege(s) granted to the users in the group.

The Credentials > Groups screen displays a list of groups configured on the screen. By default, built-in groups are hidden until you make them visible.
